In a faraway kingdom there was a village and in that 

village there was a forest bigger than the country 

France. The forest was magical and had strange 

creatures that talked, danced and sang like humans. 

There were also little men and women with pointy, red 

hats. As well as there were huge, tall giants who did 

nothing but sleep. In that forest lived a girl named 

Lostiella. Lostiella was adopted by the fairies and the 

fairies cherished Lostiella dearly. But despite that she 

was very poor and often lived in an old rusted cabin.

One night Lostiella was fast asleep, when she dreamed 

about an old wise wizard who said,

"Lostiella tomorrow you must leave the forest and help the 

poor. They are waiting and counting on you. On your way 

you must defeat the evil, mean witch."

"But how am i meant to help the poor whilst i am poor 

myself?" said Lostiella with a concerning sigh.

"Don't worry" cried the wise wizard and with that Lostiella 

woke up. Lostiella tried to make sense out of her dream but 

found it impossible that she eventually went back to sleep.

In the morning Lostiella woke up and went to her 

fairy god parents to get permission to leave the 

forest. After she had explained why she was 

leaving and said good bye to everyone, she left for 

the village with a few loaves of bread. 

"Good bye everyone" she said as she exited the 

forest. 

All of her friends and family were crying as they 

knew that the outside world was a very big step and 

danger and darkness lurked everywhere. 

As she was heading for the village, she wondered how she 

could help the poor. She couldn't think of anything. She 

had to do it as this was her mission and she must complete 

it and listen to the wise wizard's advice. What will happen 

if she couldn't defeat the dark evil witch? As she was 

questioning herself her eyes fixed on a double story house. 

The door to the house hung open. She wondered who the 

house belonged to. Apparently it belonged to the wealthiest 

woman in the...wait a minute thought Lostiella, the house 

was not in the village nor near the forest but somewhere 

dry and it only meant the desert!

However, there was a pond and some animals were drinking 

from it. The sky seemed very odd as the sun and the moon 

were both up in the sky. Lostiella became thirsty so she 

stepped into the house and heard a woman's voice,

"Artist, paint me a picture of myself and if i am satisfied i 

will pay you more money than you have ever had."

"Of course my Lady Retaw you will love the picture" said 

the artist.

Lostiella saw the artist painting and something clicked into 

her mind,

"I could be an artist" she whispered to herself.

Lady Retaw heard Lostiella's whisper and said,

"Anyone could be an artist if the person just steps 

out of my house."

Lostiella was very kind, so she quickly apologized 

before a guard came in sight. The guard pushed 

Lostiella out of the house and warned her to never 

come again for Lady Retaw does not like strangers. 

Lostiella was very upset and tried to think of something 

else to make her happy. She couldn't think of anything 

except to go to the safe, sandy beach and start her 

drawing lessons. As she made her way to the beach, she 

picked up a stick to replace it with a paint brush. 

Lostiella found a quiet space and started drawing some 

chickens as they were her favourite animal. She was 

enjoying her drawing and the quiet space when an eagle 

started circling around her. Lostiella became frightened 

as the eagle aimed for her drawing. 

She ran and jumped behind a rock to hide herself 

but she landed on someone and it took her a 

moment to realize who it was. It was Prince 

Edward, but Lostiella had no interest in him until 

she realized she had messed up his drawing.

"I am sorry" she began to apologize.

 But Prince Edward just shook his head and said,

"Don't apologize, it was just a drawing."

"I haven't met anyone today who has been nice, 

thank you for being nice to me" said Lostiella.

Prince Edward blushed but quickly took Lostiella's 

hand and helped her out of the rocks to see her 

drawing. Lostiella's drawing seemed alive which was 

why the eagle had aimed for it and landed with its 

head buried in the sand and its body sticking out. 

Lostiella began to cry as she had never done 

anything to hurt the little creature. Prince Edward 

held Lostiella close to his body and kissed her. 

Lostiella closed her eyes to this magic moment, as 

the sun provided a lovely sunset. 

Once they had both finished kissing, Lostiella looked up at 

the sky and realized that the sky was getting dark so she 

said,

"I have to go as it is getting dark."

Prince Edward did not want Lostiella to leave but 

understood that she had to go and all he said was,

"I hope to see you again"

Lostiella thought for a moment then her heart froze, she 

feared that she will never be able to see Prince Edward 

again. She liked Prince Edward's company. Lostiella ran 

before Prince Edward had the chance to say good bye.

Lostiella couldn't breathe anymore because of all the 

running and thinking. How was she going to get home into 

the huge forest? The huge forest was thousands of 

kilometres away and nothing was safe. Lostiella stopped 

and whispered quietly 

"Princess Silver Light." 

The whole forest lit up with silver light and the princess 

appeared. Princes Silver Light was the most gorgeous girl 

any prince could ask for. All of the Princes' of the land 

would easily fall in love with her. But she could not speak.

She never spoke but instead communicated with her 

mind which was often difficult to understand. Princess 

Silver Light led the way until Lostiella was home and 

she thanked her. After Princess Silver Light vanished 

Lostiella walked into her cabin. Something was 

bothering Lostiella and it was not the cold wind 

rushing through the broken windows. She went next to 

the window and looked at the half moon and wished,

"I wish i had a brush to paint anything i want to with"

Then the half-moon grew larger and larger until the old 

wise wizard appeared into her room and spoke softly,

"You wished for a brush? But this is more than a normal 

brush so use it carefully."

The wise wizard ran his hands through his smooth, white 

long beard and got out a brush. Lostiella took the brush 

and thanked the wise wizard. In a blink the old wizard 

disappeared and Lostiella was left with only a brush. 

Lostiella was dazed from all the excitement that she 

thought that it was only a dream. 

She took hold of the paint brush and started to 

paint a rooster on the wall. As soon as she finished 

her painting the rooster popped out of the wall and 

made funny noises. Lostiella was so amazed that she 

had trouble getting to sleep. 

Lady Retaw in her rich house was walking down 

underground where she had set up her talking mirror. She 

was chuckling when she said,

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the girl named Lostiella 

that is my concern out of all?"

"My lady Retaw, she is the queen of the fairies and has a 

heart pure of gold" said the mirror confidently. 

"Well, i am going to need her golden heart" said Lady 

Retaw disgustingly and she began to chuckle evilly. 

The next day Lostiella got up early in the morning and went 

to the farm for a walk with her special magical brush. While 

walking down the wheat field she realized that a few 

farmers had trouble tilling the land. Lostiella took hold of 

the brush and painted a cow on the farmer's house wall. 

Once she was finished a strong cow popped out of the wall 

and started walking down to the farmers. The farmers 

realized that Lostiella had helped them so they thanked her. 

Lostiella felt grateful and turned around to continue walking 

but a huge and tall guard was standing in front of her that 

she had to gulp a few times.
